OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to PIR 01/27/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by Navy Mom Ship 3, Div 047 on December 10, 2011 at 8:06pm: If they observe holidays on Mondays for Christmas and New Years what would their typical day on the holiday(xmas and new years) and then on the Monday consist of?

Comment by diannep on December 10, 2011 at 7:54pm: Congrats, NavyMom! So glad you got your letter. Now, write 1-1 on Dec 2nd so you know where div 47/48 are in training. They should have been on 2-1 yesterday. Remember, weekends don't count. So Monday will be 2-2 for them. Holidays will move them back a day if they observe holiday procedures on the Mondays after Christmas and New Years.

She is just adorable, Lala.

Hang in there, navywife: You will be beaming with pride on PIR day! Focus on that!

Comment by momma2many on December 10, 2011 at 7:33pm: yay navy mom!! I'm ready for a letter, now.

Comment by Navy Mom Ship 3, Div 047 on December 10, 2011 at 7:31pm: Great News, I got a letter today. It is really odd, there is no postmark. Maybe that created a delay or possible all the xmas mail.

He is doing great.

For those of you wondering what they ate for Thanksgiving. He said he had prime rib, ham, stuffing, corn & powerade. He said the food is great there.

This letter was written on Dec 2nd, which he said he just finished day 1 of week 1. He said he was in phold and pdays from Nov 21-Dec 1st.

Comment by JudyAnn (IT A-School) on December 10, 2011 at 7:30pm: Yay Deborah!!

I never thought of the holiday mail load factoring in but makes perfect sense!

Comment by JudyAnn (IT A-School) on December 10, 2011 at 6:55pm: @ Lala... Beautiful... They, and you will never regret those 'official' memories. Thanks for sharing!! My oldest is almost 21, then my SR, then the hs Jr, and then the 10 yr old. I've got a while yet - I hope - but I've been watching my friends go through the rights of passage with their children and have caught myself more and more pondering how many changes I'm in for over the next 10 years... staggering!!

Comment by momma2many on December 10, 2011 at 6:26pm: awe navywife. I cried during the beginning of the army navy game. !!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 10, 2011 at 5:49pm: Thanks Dianne, Sorry I was busy making ribbons all day and didn't get on here for a while :-) My daughter and Son-on-law actually had a wedding ceremony on their 1st anniversary and it was beautiful. It took days and days of begging to get him to wear his dress blue uniform but I finally talked him into with the help of him mom :-) It is hard to say no to two mom's lol. Here are a couple pics from the ceremony.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 10, 2011 at 5:45pm: Each division earns their own flag and penannts.

Comment by Navy Mom Ship 3, Div 047 on December 10, 2011 at 5:42pm: If a division wins a flag do they win it as a separate division or with their brother division?
